Re: Top High Schools in Each State Not sure how they picked the Ohio school. It's not even the top high school in the Columbus area, let alone the state. Upper Arlington High School has won 107 state titles in I think 16 different sports. The sports they dominate in are Golf, Tennis (boys and girls), Swimming (boys and girls), and lacrosse (girls and boys....boys team just won 4th straight title and are always ranked top 20 nationally). Athletes of note from Arlington include a few you might have heard of....wrestler Rex Holman. Golfer Jack Nicklaus. Football players Richard Slager (QB Notre Dame), Jeff Backus (DB Northwestern), Simon Fraser (Ohio State/Cleveland Browns), Mark Pfister (Ohio State LB), and Steve Duseau (Georgetown/Boston Cannons) lacrosse.
Hilliard btw has won a grand total of 3 state titles......not exactly a powerhouse in anything.
St Edward would probably be in the running for best in the state too. They dominate in more than just wrestling. They've also got fantastic Football and Hockey programs. |
